Call (217) 598-4023." lang: en --- Image: Pallet rack rows in a warehouse serving Mount Zion, IL (https://springfieldpalletrack.com/assets/hero-warehouse-UDtk90RH.jpg) # Pallet Racks in Mount Zion, IL Mount Zion is on the southeast side of the Decatur area, about 5 miles from an I-72 interchange and roughly 45 miles from Springfield. The village has been setting up its Route 121 industrial corridor for manufacturers and suppliers, and that is where most rack work lands. We lay out selective pallet rack (https://springfieldpalletrack.com/products/pallet-rack) for parts and finished goods and cantilever rack (https://springfieldpalletrack.com/products/cantilever-rack) for long or awkward stock. (217) 598-4023: 2175984023 ## The Route 121 Industrial Corridor The village created the Rt. 121 TIF District II and Business Development District No. 1. In 2024 it added industrial-corridor land to the Decatur-Macon County Enterprise Zone. Companies building here can plan storage from the ground up. With Decatur's interstate and rail access nearby, suppliers in Mount Zion often serve plants in the larger metro, which shapes how they stage outbound. ## Rack for Manufacturers Float-glass manufacturing is among the area's major employers. Glass and similar products ship on crates and racks that do not fit standard pallet bays. We measure the real loads and choose between pallet rack, cantilever and floor storage zone by zone. For raw material that arrives long, cantilever keeps it accessible from the side. For packaged parts, selective rack with wire decking does the job. - Bay widths sized to oversized crates - Cantilever for long stock - Wire decking for cartons and partial pallets Image: Warehouse racking aisle like those we plan in Mount Zion (https://springfieldpalletrack.com/assets/warehouse-aisle-DrDu-B7-.jpg) ## Supplier Shipping Into Decatur Mount Zion suppliers often deliver to plants a few miles away in Decatur. Short trips and frequent deliveries call for a building organized around outbound: staged orders near the door, fast movers close by, and less emphasis on deep storage. Selective rack fits that pattern because every pallet is reachable. Pushback can help with a few high-volume items. ## Summer Heat and Winter Cold in the Shop Manufacturing buildings here are rarely air-conditioned, and dock areas can be cold in winter. We plan install crews around both, starting early in summer and keeping winter shifts short near open doors. ## The Enterprise Zone Addition When the village added industrial-corridor land to the Decatur-Macon County Enterprise Zone in 2024, it opened the door for new buildings. A company planning one should think about storage as early as the site plan. Dock locations, column spacing and clear height all affect how much rack fits. We can draw a rough layout from a site plan alone. That early drawing often answers questions about building size before money is spent on detailed design. For a supplier, it also clarifies how much staging space the docks need. ## Building New or Moving In If you are building in the corridor, call before the column grid is final. If you are moving from elsewhere in the Decatur area, our warehouse relocation service (https://springfieldpalletrack.com/warehouse-relocation) handles teardown and reinstall. Spring storms in central Illinois can interrupt outdoor staging, so we keep steel under cover when possible. ## Request a Mount Zion Layout Or call (217) 598-4023 (2175984023). ## Mount Zion Racking Questions ### What type of rack suits manufacturing suppliers? ### Which details do you need to price pallet rack? ### How deep and tall should the uprights be? ### How long does rack supply and installation take? ## Near Mount Zion Decatur, IL: https://springfieldpalletrack.com/service-area/decatur Illiopolis, IL: https://springfieldpalletrack.com/service-area/illiopolis Taylorville, IL: https://springfieldpalletrack.com/service-area/taylorville Shelbyville, IL: https://springfieldpalletrack.com/service-area/shelbyville ## Racking for Mount Zion?
